Background
The City of Redding has not had a compensation philosophy to
govern the administration of salaries and employee benefits.
Purpose
ii This policy will establish the City Council's posture on this
important subject and will provide the framework for the City
Council in arriving at a salary and benefit program which is
equitable to taxpayers, employees, and the public.
II Policy �.
The City of Redding will establish and maintain a compensation
policy which is intended to recruit and retain the better
qualified employees . In order to establish salaries and
benefits necessary to attract and retain such employees, the
City shall conduct periodic surveys of public and private '4
sector employment in order to ensure that its compensation 11 '
practices conform to the practices of a cross-section of
public and private employers in the labor market from which
the City recruits its work force. The Council recognizes that
there are different labor markets for different occupational
groups , and its survey practices shall reflect those labor
Ij market differences , and the compensation judgements made on
the salary data collected shall also reflect those geographic
differences. For occupational grips that are peculiar to the
public sector, such as police and fire, or for professional,
technical or managerial occupational groups or jobs with
qualifications not found in ready supply in the local Redding
market, the City shall conduct surveys of total compensation
in California cities with economic and service delivery
it conditions comparable to. Redding' s. For those occupational
groups which are found in ample supply in the Redding area,
total compensation surveys of public and private employers in
that market place shall be conducted. These surveys will
serve as the basis for insuring that the City' s compensation
practices are in keeping with the practices of public and
private employers in the labor markets in which the City
competes for its work force and will serve as the foundation
for the collective bargaining processes in which the City
participates.
